The walking talking Office.

 

1/5/2025 9:53 AM

This is the time that I am all excited about everything. It’s early morning, the sun is up but shrouded by clouds and it’s cold outside. So where was I? Yes. It’s cold morning and I just had my cup of coffee and now I am ready to take on the world. Yes, that’s what I am feeling right now. Morning is the time when I can focus on a task and actually complete it. Between learning Japanese and Painting, I chose to express my feelings by typing here on my memoir. Huh. You know Inspiration, motivation type shit, ya that shit comes to me early in the morning after a cup of coffee. Man, the easiest way to express things is with words I believe. Painting requires a lot of thought process and takes a lot of time. Between those times, you get frustrated because things don't go exactly as you want during the process and you feel like abandoning the piece of artwork. BUT! If you can express yourself through art rather than words, by all means, Please do. It’s one of the skill that is applicable to every part of the industry I believe. Because, you know. Most people are too lazy or don't have time to sit and read all the stuff an artist writes. But visuals, visuals are different. You can grasp the idea in a second just by looking at the artwork. That is why designers have a silent but vital part in the industry. They are the ones to play with people's psychology without them knowing it. It’s always there serving you like the rays of sun or gentle breeze. You will only realize by the absence of it. Just like today. We expect the sun to shine its rays every morning and it does almost every morning. But today is different. Today, we have noticed its absence. Now we can’t complain or call customer care about the Sun to keep shining when it’s the clouds that is blocking the rays. My point is. God is a designer but even God has its own limitations so ya. Designs has to be flawless and applicable but sometimes, they miss the mark is some places and at sometimes.

Why are we talking about designs? I don’t know. I should be painting or learning Japanese for god sake. I think my coffee is wearing down. Hmp. Caffeine. It makes you do extraordinary shit, just like the movie Limitless. So if I were to consume such drugs, it would make me super productive but, what’s the catch or side effects? Are we morally obliged to consume such chemicals to keep us performing? That’s a moral dilemma for another day. So That’s all for now. It’s the fifth day of 2025 and I have to make links, know people, and start a business. No! No more business shit! This time. I work for me. I am my business, my hands are my tools and my brain is my office manager. I am a moving breathing office and I will keep progressing and growing. I will improve my office with new skill departments such as animation, crafts, and music. For now it is occupied with marketing, watercolor painting, and learning language. I should include the finance department because we are getting broke and marketing requires money. I am having conversations with myself like the movie Inside Out. 

Marketing: I got some great Ideas. It will surely make us more money. 

Painting: Ah here we go again. How many times do I have to tell you, We don’t have money?
Marketing: Yes we do. We have the emergency vault.

Painting: those are for emergencies only!

Marketing: this is an emergency!

Language: 私たちはお金のことを話しているのですか？私もお金が欲しいです

Painting: Shut up Language. We have enough problems to deal with you right now. Beside. We are still new to understanding your language. 

Monk: Hol up. What is the problem here? Why are you guys not working?

Language: マネージャーの僧侶。私たちはお金の問題を抱えています。

Monk: Language. We will talk about this in English ok. 

Language: わかった。

Marketing: Manager Monk. We can’t work like this broke forever? We need money to keep our business growing. I have so many awesome ideas to earn money but for that, we need money at first.  

Painting: I know we are in a dire situation but what else can we do to earn money? We can do commission work and teachings. But who will give us work if they don’t know our work?

Marketing: Exactly. 

Monk: I understand what situation we are in. I think it’s time to branch out and ask for help. To be involved in things we never dared to be involved in. Marketing is right, to work first we need to show our work and reliability. (then Monk's manager steps to the top of the table, clenching his fist close to his chest. In an attentive and determined gesture, he holds his head high). The times are changing and so we shall too. I swear on my grandfather's grave. If we have to dance, we will dance. If we have to drink piss, we will drink the goddamn piss and survive. We will thrive, we will rise and we will be victorious!!

Marketing: And what about the money?

Monk: You have my permission to use the emergency vault. 

Painting: okay.

Language: はい。これで語学コースを受講できるようになりました。

That’s how it goes. In conclusion. I have to make it by hook or by crook. No excuses my friend. Goddammit! everything requires money!
